when i'm increasing the number of boids, each boid is relocated in a apparently randomly choosen position. but for my project i wish them to stay in the current position when i create a new one. the latter should be put (e.g.) into the position of the attraction point.

anybody has got some suggestions how i could achieve this? or just a hint for the right way?

how about defining the maximum number of boids you will be using at 

the beginning, and just using a jit.submatrix before the draw sequence

the beginning, and just using a jit.submatrix before the draw sequence  
to hide the non-needed ones?

a possible strategy is to start with as many boids as you ultimately need

you can simulate the "begin from emitter" effect with watching the next

batch and just before they appear run a fake boid from center to their known

a possible strategy is to start with as many boids as you ultimately need
and "unmask" them when needed.
